For My Sisters’ Guide to Choosing the Best Eco Friendly Tampons Periods are a natural part of life, but how we manage them can have a significant impact on our health and the environment. At For My Sisters, we believe every woman deserves safe, e?ective, and eco-conscious period care options. That's why we've created this in-depth guide to help you choose the best eco friendly tampons, including what to look for, why it matters, and how our organic cotton tampons can make a real di?erence. Why Go Eco Friendly with Your Period Products? Traditional tampons often contain synthetic fibres, plastic applicators, and chemical additives that can be harmful not only to your body but also to the planet. With millions of non-biodegradable menstrual products ending up in landfills or oceans every year, switching to eco friendly tampons is a small yet powerful step towards reducing your environmental footprint.
Eco friendly tampons are made with biodegradable materials, often feature recyclable or compostable packaging, and are produced using environmentally responsible practices. They're also typically free from harmful chemicals like chlorine, fragrances, and dyes that can irritate sensitive skin. What Makes a Tampon Truly Eco Friendly? When shopping for eco friendly tampons, consider the following factors: 1. Material Matters Look for organic cotton tampons. Organic cotton is grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilisers, making it safer for your body and better for the soil and surrounding ecosystem. 2. No Toxic Additives Choose tampons that are free from chlorine bleaching, fragrances, dyes, and synthetic fibres. These ingredients can cause irritation and potentially disrupt your natural pH balance. 3. Biodegradable and Compostable Ensure that the tampon itself and its packaging are biodegradable or compostable. Some natural cotton tampons decompose within a few months under the right conditions. 4. Certifications Look for certifications such as GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), which ensure that the cotton used is genuinely organic and processed sustainably. Why Organic Cotton Tampons Are the Gold Standard Organic cotton tampons are a top choice among eco-conscious women for good reason. They're made with non-GMO cotton that’s grown without synthetic chemicals, making them both safer for users and kinder to the earth. Unlike conventional tampons, organic cotton tampons don’t contain artificial materials or superabsorbent polymers (SAPs), which can lead to dryness or discomfort. They allow your body to function naturally during your period, supporting rather than disrupting your cycle. Natural Cotton Tampons vs. Synthetic: What’s the Di?erence? You may be surprised to learn that most commercial tampons are made with a blend of cotton and rayon, a synthetic fibre. Rayon is often treated with chemicals during manufacturing, which may leave behind residues. Natural cotton tampons, like those from For My Sisters, contain nothing but 100% pure cotton—no plastic, no nonsense.
Natural cotton is breathable, hypoallergenic, and biodegradable. Plus, it’s better at reducing the risk of irritation and allergic reactions.

How to Switch to Eco Friendly Tampons
Transitioning to eco friendly tampons is easy when you know what to expect. Here are a few tips to help you make the switch: 1. Start Gradually Try out a small box of natural cotton tampons first to see how your body reacts. Most women find the switch seamless. Track Your Flow Eco tampons come in a variety of absorbencies. Track your cycle to know when to use light, regular, or super. Dispose Responsibly Compost tampons if possible, or dispose in general waste. Never flush them, even if they’re biodegradable. Educate Others Share your experience and encourage friends, family, and workplaces to consider sustainable period care. 2. 3. 4.
